Communication with host was excellent! Overall experience was great! Itâs all what it was described to be. Very nice would definitely stay again. Great memories made.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay here. Everything was clean and exactly as pictured/described. The wide covered deck really expanded the living space. We will plan to stay here again in the future.
The location was great property was ok the water in the showers did not get very hot they were warm the most , my mom actually fell in the garage area when it was wet and my dad slid another time , the patio door was hard to open and close but the over all stay like I said was good .
The gorgeous Fall Carolina weather only added to our first stay at Mermaids Retreat! The first floor condo was perfect for a pleasant ocean breeze and the large deck allowed our dog to enjoy it too! Condo was nicely decorated and all needed items easy to find.
The property had everything we needed and had easy access but there were some things that could have been cleaned up better before our stay. But overall it worked for us.
Mermaids retreat was perfect for our long weekend getaway. Right on the beach. Hearing the waves right outside your door. Space was very clean. Beds were comfortable. Everything we needed for the two of us and most importantly we were able to bring our dog.
The condo was priced as a premium location but when we arrived we didn't find anything premium about it.
Floors were dirty, and the washer/dryer had rust and mold on them. The fixtures in the bathroom were delapidated and had rust. The ac vents were rusty - the door access code didn't work so we had to use the key lock box. Front door was discolored from long standing dirt. The sliding glass door lock was broke but functional and the most of the dining room/kitchen furniture was badly worn.
I had to email the host on my way to the condo (around 4pm) to get the welcome letter wish she responded with the standard form no apology or oops .. Just a copy and paste.
On the bright side it was beach front and the parking was ok...
We had a wonderful vacation with our family and two Yorkies! The Mermaidâs Retreat had everything we needed to feel right at home. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to meal prep, cook and clean. Check in/check out was a breeze. Walking distance to the boardwalk.
Ju a great beachfront view and wonderful relaxing stay visiting family and walking to restaurants, shops and beach and boardwalk. Weâll definitely be back !
The condo was exactly as advertised. Nice balcony off of the living room and view of water. Very convenient location. We could walk to restaurants. My only concern was the lack of soap in either of the bathrooms.
Amazingly roomy, beautifully appointed condo; comfy bed; great place to relax and enjoy the beach! Thank you, Alana, for a great first experience with VRBO!
Alana was an extremely attentive host not only before and during our stay, but also after. We let her know that we are interested in Carolina Beach and the NC coast for retirement, and she generously shared contacts in the area for us to further explore the market. It is not surprising that Alana is a Premier host with consistently high rated properties. We will stay with her again knowing how responsive she is to her customers!
Love how close it was to shops. Weather was unexpected as dar as cloudy and wet. Condo was overall clean and view looks as if the ocean would have looked beautiful.
